Taking the leap

And here we are, finally, in Alabama. Newest baby is 3 weeks old and we traveled here two weeks ago to stay with my brother and his family to get Brian's facility going. We're settling in ok, but I am unsettled about the whole thing. Brian and I prayed about this move, and I truely feel it is an answer to our prayers, but the waiting and the unknown...it's hard. We have had over 20 showings of our house in Ohio since the end of June and no offers. I'm wondering what God's plan is. I have a hard time not thinking whether we made the right choice or not. Is our house not selling a sign that we shouldn't have moved? Or is it merely a continued opportunity to show I trust God? And by worrying about it am I truely trusting?  It all seems right, but if it is, why isn't it happening? We need to sell the house in order to buy a new one, and until that happens we are here indefinatly. I guess I just miss having a home of my own. I feel stuck. it's the best case, worst case scenario and I am glad to be here instead of in Ohio with Brian traveling. My brother and his family have been the best, but I am homesick. I pray that I can learn what God is trying to teach me quickly, and not complain and doubt my way into a 40 year wander in the desert. =) Pray for me and my family that we focus on God's goodness and not the plans we have made for ourselves.

  1. Will do! I didn't know you guys actually made 'the move'. I remember moving right when Scott was a couple weeks old. It's really scary! I'm still not sure if that was a normal reaction or if it was a lack of sleep thing amplifying my doubts.

    I'm just glad you're all together!

    I'm sorry I haven't kept up with you too well lately. Things have been crazy around here. I underestimated how much homeschooling would interfere with some of my normal activities!

    I'm going to miss you guys! Let us know if we can do anything to help.
